Misato took me out to this really nice restaurant called Ishi no Kura, basically means house stones which is what the restaurant looked like. We had some delicious traditional Japanese food. I was super jet lagged from my flight back from Seattle, but Misato was super excited to take me out. After dinner she told me I should really go see the bathroom and how nice it was because she didnt want me to be around when she paid. There was a little artist gallery attached to the restaurant where some of Misatos brothers art was for sale. Once we got back to my house Misato surprised me with a cake she had specially made with my name on it. I was so tired we did not eat it, but i still blew out the candles. A few weeks later we went on this hike. It was a total beginners hike where old ladies and strollers could easily navigate. At first I thought all hikes in Japan were going to be like this one, but apparently there are some real hikes out there I have yet to discover. Also had my friend Kudo and Satoshi over for one of the world cup games and Misato bought a special soccer ball shaped bottle of wine.
